One thing thats always sparked my curiousity in the YW books is that when the children speak to animals in the speech, whether the animals are wizards or not they all seem to be very intelligent and self aware. Sentient is the word that comes to mind.
What are your thoughts on this? I wonder if it was done intentionally because we know so little scientifically about how aware/intelligent animals are or whether the speech provides such a depth of understanding between the species that you just don't notice the difference?
